The Florence Indian Mound Museum is hosting a series of children’s programs where students can explore the early history of the Shoals through hands-on learning exercises. The programs will cover a wide range of topics within Native American history and culture and are aimed at an elementary level age group. Each program will have a creative component with hands-on learning, and all events are free.

December’s program will focus on the importance of storytelling in southeastern Native American cultures. Students will focus on a story and learn about its composition and its cultural significance.

This program is recommended for students ages 7-12. It is sponsored by the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area and the Kennedy-Douglass Volunteers.
